title: Histological observations of canine cystic endometrial hyperplasia induced by intrauterine scratching.
abstract: Of eight mongrel bitches, the antimesometrial side of the nonpregnant left horn of the uterus at the pregnant or nonpregnant luteal phase was scratched with a Kirschner's wire. Cystic endometrial hyperplasia (CEH) was induced in seven of the eight bitches (87.5%). No difference in the incidence of CEH in the left horn was seen between the pregnant and the nonpregnant groups. Histological examinations showed CEH with a dilatation of the basal glands, resembling "Swiss cheese endometrium".
